Signs of Portents by Lou Paduano

I normally don't do full book reports on books I have read.. but since this is a book written by my cousin's son and my cousin was nice enough to gift me this book and the most important part.. the book was good.. I thought I would do a blog entry and also list this on Amazon, Good Reads and Barnes and Noble..

This book is gonna be part of a series, which is a plus in my mind as I prefer them.. The book started off with 2 prologues, which confused me at first, but after reading a few chapters in, I realized that it was the back draft for the main characters... Greg Loran and Soriya Graystone..

The book is full of dark atmosphere with hidden under currents, which is appropriate to the storyline.. He has alot of descriptions, which helps you visualize both the scenery.. and which is going on in the minds of the characters.  I also liked how it ended.. which definitely lets you know there will be another book.. (hopefully soon!!).. I cant wait to read the next one..

Perfect Gifts for any time of the year..

I make these sachets and they do really well on Listia.. so now am also putting them up on Etsy.. these are filled with either organic lavender flowers or organic peppermint leaves.. I get them both at the co-op and try to always have a fresh supply.. you can also order these filled with cotton batting for your own choice of scents.

These make a nice gift for a teacher, babysitter, pet sitter, a friend.. also good for shower gifts, put in baskets, for weddings.. etc.. I have two designs.. one a heart and one a Christmas ornament. You can get them in almost any color..

Note From Cats Meow Michelle

I havent been feeling well for a while.. I just need to step back and regroup.. and will only be taking small orders between now and Christmas.. once an item that I dont have available is gone.. I wont be renewing it for awhile.. I of course will stop by here at least a couple times a month to drop a line.. and show you what I have been working on.. I just need to not feel like I am on a merry-go-round and just relax cos I am burning both ends of the candlestick.. (gees.. sorry for the metaphors).. Thanks for understanding..

Fall and Halloween Hanging Towels Available

Don't think I will get alot of these done this year.. so if you want them.. order them now. I am stepping back from focusing on my crocheting for sale..and just moving in the direction of making items as I do them.. More on this later..

Some projects finished..

I finished the potholders for an order.. and added buttons to the towels I topped.. I only got the picture of the potholders.. took it quick on my scanner.. didn't come too good.. what is suppose to be bright red is light.. and what is suppose to be bright orange.. is pink.. sigh.. will have to take better pictures later..

This potholder is a double layer one.. solid crochet on the bottom and a GS topper with a sc edge and a large loop.. I made them 9 1/2 inches square.. big enough for even to use as a hotpad for the table..

Now I will be starting a white baby sweater set.. hopefully tonight..
